There's no shortcut to finding out why you are out of balance. There are 'math tricks' however to guide you. For example, if the unbalanced amount ends with a '9' there is a decent probability you transposed digits somewhere.

Un-reconciling doesn't delete anything. I'm not sure what you are describing there.

Un-reconciling simply is removing the 'y' ("yes") flag in the 'r' ("reconciled?") column and changing it to 'n' ("no").

It doesn't affect any balances. The flag is just for you to know that you have verified the transaction is correct and matches a statement from your financial institution.

Un-reconciling then, will mark the transaction as 'unverified'. You can filter your register view to show only un-reconciled transactions so you can then do research and find out why it doesn't match, or in fact if it does, then mark it as reconciled.

If ALL transactions are reconciled that doesn't mean your balances are 0.00, it just means that whatever the balance happens to be, you have verified it to be correct.

Happy Holidays,

Not wanting to ruin your festivities, but where is the best place to find help, and advice on rectifying reconciliations.

Is see there is a way to "unreconcile" a selection, but I don't understand what the effect is or why to do it. For example I can maybe unreconcile to create 0.00 as the overall result but the transactions are still there!!

My issue is that somewhere along the line since 1.1.2013 when I started Gnu something has gone wrong, things seemed to be OK and because I was lax in doing reconciles I fell off the 0.00.....

I there a way to find the anomaly?
